Markets Are Falling In Europe

Britain's FTSE 100, France's CAC 40, and Germany's Dax are all
down by just under 1%.

Today's losses follow a negative trading session in the
U.S. Markets turn lower after the Federal Reserve published
its latest FOMC minutes, which suggested a tapering of
quantitative easing could begin in one of the next few FOMC
meetings.

"Renewed weakness was evident across both services and
manufacturing, and the poor set of figures underline the
fragility of the economy in the face of a persistently anaemic
demand environment," noted Markit economist Jack Kennedy.
"Although remaining above the levels seen in the first half of
the year, PMI data highlight the risk of a return to recession
for France in Q4 following the - 0.1% fall in GDP during Q3.”"
